Kohler Command Engine smoking
I have a John Deer L130 with a Kohler cv23s 23hp v-twin engine. The engine smokes continuously. I have done a compression test on both cylinders with a 180 psi result in both. I cannot find anywhere any answers as to why it is smoking. If anyone has had this problem or has a possible solution? I am thinking along the lines of possible valve damage or valve adjustments? Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am

I think you'll find that it has (a) bad gead gasket(s). Common problem on twin cylinder Kohler commands. There is a revision kit made to repair this, with new stronger head bolts.
180 PSI???

Head gasket kit for Kohler CV23S
I have the smoking problem on my 23HP Kohler, Model CV23S. Can anyone confirm the part number for the head gasket/head bolt kit for this engine. Either from Kohler or OPEngines.com? Thanks.
